Supplier Selection Process

With long-term commitment in mind, we partner with suppliers who are committed to excellence and share our vision for products of superior quality. At High Liner, selecting a supplier is a rigorous multi-step screening process:

1. Supplier Qualification
High Liner has an extensive audit & approval process to verify that potential suppliers have superior facilities and quality control systems. All High Liner partners demonstrate effective Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) and are HACCP

(Hazard Analysis at Critical Control Points) certified for food safety. They also must show acceptable employee practices and a clear understanding of sound seafood harvesting.

Compliance is verified during on-site audits of the supplier facility by qualified High Liner personnel or by accredited third party auditors.

2. Supplier Partnership
Once screened, High Liner’s audit team visits a potential supplier's facility and works hand-in-hand with them to:
•  Develop a manufacturing process and product specification
•  Manufacture and review prototypes to ensure that High Liner’s expectations are met

As well, High Liner personnel work on-site with the supplier to supervise the initial production run, ensuring that the product specifications are clearly understood and met.

3. Quality Control
Products and raw materials sourced by High Liner are monitored continuously and extensively throughout the manufacturing and distribution process.
•  During production, suppliers monitor all processes to ensure products meet quality and safety specifications.
•  Suppliers must also submit products to accredited third party laboratories for regular analysis.

As always, quality is our top priority. Rigid controls are in place to ensure we offer high-quality products for you and your family to enjoy.
